Electronic Overspeed Switch EGS(H) 41 NOTES! You must be able to mount the coupling without force. Ream out the bores of used couplings, if necessary! We recommend our zero-backlash, torsion-resistant HK 5 coupling to attach the overspeed switch. Please refer to the catalougue Torsion Resistant Couplings for overspeed switch.
Electronic Overspeed Switch EGS(H) 41 4.6 Mounting B35 type (flange and foot) NOTES! B35 type encoders can be attached by means of a flange (B5, please refer to Chapter 4.5) or foot (B3): For a mounting example please refer to dimension drawing HM 09 M 102 240a (Chapter 9.1.2).
Electronic Overspeed Switch EGS(H) 41 4. Align the encoder shaft (5) to the (motor) shaft and insert into the coupling hub. NOTES! Use shims (19) to achieve the correct vertical alignment to the base plate (20). Observe information in Chapter 4.7 about mounting errors and max. permissible mounting tolerances! 5.
Electronic Overspeed Switch EGS(H) 41 4.8 Attaching additional devices NOTES! Overspeed switch design types B5/B14 and B35/B14 have a second shaft extension with integrated coupling half (1) and a B14 type flange (2) on the non-drive end, onto which it is possible to fit an additional device with a B5 flange, for example an incremental encoder, absolute shaft encoder or an overspeed switch.
